In the United States National Space Policy, the Government declares that the goal of its national space programme is, among other things, to strengthen stability in space through domestic and international measures for the purpose of promoting safe and responsible operations in space.390 Furthermore, in the National Aeronautics and Space Act,391 the United States Government pledges that its activities in space will be devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind.392 The same Act also stresses that among the objectives of the United States aeronautical and space activities are the improvement of the safety and efficiency of aeronautical and space vehicles.393 386 14 e-CFR 440.17(a), and 440.17(b), Chapter III, Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, supra note 323; 51 USC Chapter 509, Sections 50914(b)(1), supra note 320; 49 USC Chapter 701, Section 70112(b)(1), supra note 321. 387 51 USC Chapter 509, Sections 50914(b)(2), supra note 320; 49 USC Chapter 701, Section 70112(b)(2), 388 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, supra note 301, at 62. 389 Article IX, Outer Space Treaty 1967. 390 National Space Policy of the United States of America (June 28, 2010), at 4, xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/sites/default/files/national_space_policy_6-28-10.pdf, accessed: 22 February 2013. 391 National Aeronautics and Space Act, supra note 326. 392 Section 20102(a), National Aeronautics and Space Act, supra note 326. 393 Section 20102(d)(2), National Aeronautics and Space Act, supra note 326.

  • Bilateral Safeguard Measures 1.

Bilateral safeguard measures shall only be taken upon clear evidence that increased imports have caused or are threatening to cause serious injury pursuant to an investigation in accordance with the procedures laid down in the WTO Agreement on Safeguards. 3. The Party intending to take a bilateral safeguard measure under this Article shall immediately, and in any case before taking a measure, make notification to the other Parties and the Joint Committee. The notification shall contain all pertinent information, which shall include evidence of serious injury or threat thereof caused by increased imports, a precise description of the product involved and the proposed measure, as well as the proposed date of introduction, expected duration and timetable for the progressive removal of the measure. A Party that may be affected by the measure shall be offered compensation in the form of substantially equivalent trade liberalisation in relation to the imports from any such Party. 4. If the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are met, the importing Party may take measures consisting in increasing the rate of customs duty for the product to a level not to exceed the lesser of: (a) the MFN rate of duty applied at the time the action is taken; or (b) the MFN rate of duty applied on the day immediately preceding the date of the entry into force of this Agreement. 5.

The Party intending to take such a measure shall immediately notify the other Parties and the Joint Committee thereof. Within 30 days of the date of the notification, the procedures set out in paragraphs 2 to 6, including for compensatory action, shall be initiated. Any compensation shall be based on the total period of application of the provisional emergency measure and of the emergency measure. 9.
